Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “For example, in Florida 3–6 million USD is spent annually to control the melaleuca tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia) in forest and grassland ecosystems of the Everglades and about 14.5 million USD to control hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) invading lakes (Pimentel et al., 2005).”
The horticultural industry as a vector of alien snails and slugs: widespread invasions in Hawaii (2008, background): “In the USA alone, annual costs associated with alien species have been estimated as US$120–137 billion (Pimentel et al. 2000, 2005).”
How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “…2013), about 27 million birds killed by pet cats in Great Britain (Woods et al., 2003), 240 million birds killed by feral cats in the United States (Pimentel et al., 2005), with a more substantial evidence base (a) Total number of birds eaten subsequently resulting in that estimate increased to…”
Predicting invasiveness of species in trade: climate match, trophic guild and fecundity influence establishment and impact of non‐native freshwater fishes (2016, background): “Biological invasions have subsequently altered patterns of biodiversity from local to continental scales (Wilcove et al., 1998; Baiser et al., 2012) and resulted in both ecological and economic impacts on entire ecosystems (Pimentel et al., 2005; Strayer et al., 2006).”
Feeding and growth of native, invasive and non-invasive alien apple snails (Ampullariidae) in the United States: Invasives eat more and grow more (2011, background): “Some 50,000 non-native species have been introduced to the United States, resulting in an estimated economic cost of $120 billion per year (Pimentel et al. 2005).”
Aquatic invasive species: general trends in the literature and introduction to the special issue (2014, background): “Third, invasive species can cause tremendous economic impacts (Pimentel et al., 2005; Perrings, 2011) and human health can also be affected (Bol, 2011).”
Applying a spread model to identify the entry points from which the pine wood nematode, the vector of pine wilt disease, would spread most rapidly across Europe (2011, background): “Given the increasing number of alien species introduced to different parts of the world, and their environmental and economic impacts ( Pimentel et al. 2005; Work et al. 2005; Hulme et al. 2009a, b; Roques et al. 2009), understanding the mechanisms of biological invasions has become an important is”

Feral swine damage and damage management in forested ecosystems. (2009, background): “The geographic distribution and abundance of feral swine are increasing in the United States, where they cause an estimated $800 million in losses each year (Pimentel et al., 2005).”
The Beginning of a New Invasive Plant: A History of the Ornamental Callery Pear in the United States (2007, background): “Given the high cost of controlling invasive species (Pimentel et al. 2005), it is imperative to revisit the role of horticultural introductions in plant invasions today.”
